Product description

Dense garnet colour. An intense nose of brambly fruit, crushed violets and coffee on the nose with hints of leather and mint. The palate is medium bodied withflavours of blackberries, blood plums and dark chocolate. Ripe, earthytannins are supported by cedary oak and balanced by fine acidity and great length.

Immediately appealing with its whorl of dark fruits infused with baking spices, a sprinkling of dried mint and cocoa. Fuller-bodied with a plushness across the palate buoyed by supple tannins and no new oak to clamp down all that joy. Terrific drink.

Rich, ripe and round. A dark-fruited, sloshy textured, glistening Clare shiraz of good energy and sense of freshness, despite the concentration and bold character on show. Blackberry compote, black jellybeans, clove and cinnamon spice between the bouquet and palate. Silky tannins shaping things nicely. The finish a bit smudged with gritty tannin and twiggy spice notes, but fine, you'll get past that for the most part. Easygoing shiraz.
